What is Drawer Box?
Although there is no official name for this type of box, we refer to it as a “drawer box” to help customers better understand the box’s shape. Other names for this box include slide-open boxes, slide-out packaging boxes, trays with sleeves, and rigid cardboard matchboxes. Drawer boxes are ideal for showcasing products in stores.
The box can be left slightly open, either standing up or flat, to display the contents without removing the lid. One of the most effective design techniques for this box is to use a different design and color for the outer carton and inner drawer. The outer box can be replaced with a rigid or flat-folding sleeve as an alternative.
Usually, our clients like to have some compartment inside the boxes. Such as folding paper inserts or rigid dividers, pop out sections for bottles, or even molded platforms made from high-density foam, covered in foam or velvet or satin.

Additionally, the colorful pull-out string on the drawer box makes it stand out in the market (If you do not like a pull-tab, optional a notch-cut hole, as the image showed below). It is a great option to showcase luxury or high-end products, and it can also be used for promotional purposes. The sliding mechanism of the box adds an interactive element, which can create a unique user experience for customers. With various materials, sizes, and printing options available, the sliding box packaging is a versatile and customizable packaging solution for any product.
When Shall We Use The Drawer Gift Boxes?
Cardboard drawer boxes are a great packaging solution when you need a box with multiple compartments. They are ideal for packaging jewelry, cosmetics, and other small items. The drawers make it easy to access the contents of the box without having to take everything out. Cardboard drawer boxes can be customized with different colors, designs, and sizes, making them perfect for branding and marketing purposes. They are also eco-friendly and can be recycled after use, making them a sustainable packaging solution.
- If you require a rigid packaging solution for your product, consider a custom drawer box made from two layers – the inner drawer and the outer box.
- For an excellent packaging experience, think about how your customers will interact with the box. A sliding drawer that reveals your beautiful product slowly can create a memorable unboxing experience.
- To protect your product during shipping or storage, consider adding inserts such as EVA, EPE, XPE foam, or a cardboard insert inside the drawer box.
